Paid Upgrade on Pre-paid Tarif?
I hold a pre-paid booking in the US for July. The booking was done in January, when the US$ to Euro exchange rate was still more favorable.
I am now thinking about upgrading to a bigger car. I do not want that the whole rental price is recalculated with the actual exchange rate. Therefore I assume it is not wise to change the booking now, as the whole rental price would be recalculated and therefore the rental would become significantly more expensive.
I am planning to ask for a paid upgrade at the station, when I am picking up the car. My hope is that Avis will then only ask for the difference in price (in US$) between both categories.
Are my assumptions correct? Or do I miss something out?

In any way, you should be able to see how it works before confirming change to booking online.
